Straight Towards The Sun

from A Disposable Life by Peter Galperin

/

lyrics

(verse 1)
I had so many good ideas, so far ahead of my time,
I was as modern as Le Corbusier.
But history is full of wrong turns and ideals get left behind.
Please don’t blame me, I can’t be as bad as they say.

(chorus) 2X
I couldn’t see a thing,
Because the light was in my eyes.
I was heading straight towards the sun.

(verse 2)
No one can say that I didn’t do my job,
Like it or not, I got things done.
Though Roosevelt and Rockefeller will never be my friends,
I can admit, I don’t like what I’ve become.

(bridge)
I wanted to transform the world, make it a better place,
I only wanted what was best for you.

I realize that the times have changed, and I’ve been left behind,
But look at me now, what else can I do.

(chorus) 4X
I couldn’t see a thing,
Because the light was in my eyes.
I was heading straight towards the sun.
